To support, and extend your example, also consider the entire process of registration of incorporated artificial legal entities.
If there is no benefit to The People in permitting the existence of Corporations in the first place, why would The People bother?
We need a return to your clear style of thinking. Where FIRST a Corporation must benefit The Public in some ways, and THEN they may make a profit if they are able. I don't mean Socialism or any other knee-jerk bugaboos. But more like. "That's nice that you have an opinion, but we didn't ask, so STFU, and if it's too much trouble for you, then dissolve your corporation, and return the liquidated assets to the investors, and better luck next time...."

For LESS than the amount of money we've *already spent* on the "Iraq War", ( and using 1980's technology.... ) we *could have already* orbited a constellation of solar power satellites, beaming ZERO EMISSION ELECTRICITY right down to ground-stations plugged into the existing grid.
Imaging the National Security implications of 100% Energy Independence, and then hang the treasonous bastards who wasted the money on freaking oil!

You ask:
"What happens if your "property" goes and destroys somebody else's property?"
Which You answer:
"You can launch your rocket however you want. But the moment it lands on my backyard I can scream, complain, sue, and tear you apart."
Correct. We have courts for resolving these disputes. The process is clearly documented and well understood.

And he's out 10 grand in legal fees...
Hey, is there a civil action pending against Circuit City?
Those harmed shoudln't blame the Whistleblower...
Blame the negligent Government Employee who let the documents become available in the first place.
VistA's CPRS application == Delphi will be around another 20 years.
1) Find controversial local politician, and controversial local journalist.
2) Transfer devices to their vehicles.
3) CALL POLITICIAN AND JOURNALIST and tell them the cops have their cars bugged.
4) Enjoy the subsequent stories of Police Corruption in the newspaper.
Well, with Digg's Patented Fucked Up Comment System, you ain't going to Digg.
Reddit, perhaps?
They CHOSE to have it via teleconference.
They are OBLIGATED to travel to the Court in DC. They got what they asked for.
ditto. rtorrent + screen.
Or, say, rents it for nuclear weapon simulation and design...
Does it choke rendering Digg's Sucky Comment system, like FF?
What's the crime???
LITTERING!
( Well, Unlawful Dumping in someone else's waste can, but that's a violation it is! )
Yup.
#1) They are lying to you.
#2) When they change their story, see #1.

Alan Cox?
The price of Freedom and Liberty is being brave enough to accept the risks of OTHER PEOPLE having Freedom and Liberty, too.
When I hear someone whine, "We need to be protected!", I know 2 things:
A) They are not brave enough to accept the risks of Freedom and Liberty.
B) They are incompetent to see to their OWN Security.
And this Diesel/Electric concept is pretty much what every locomotive uses, as well as all them container ships...
I think it's the future. Eventually, your car will have an optimized diesel engine, used just for running up the batteries.
The marketing department *lied* to us?
Shocked! I'm Shocked!
They should get a quart of refractory cement and a trowel ( or a plastic glove, to just smear it on... )
Instead of this crap.
Nothing that's not already been considered...

The FUNNIEST part is....
The USA couldn't build one TODAY!
That's a WIN, by the way, for the OSS Community. GPLv2 is JUST FINE, and if MSFT is suckered into that route, I see nothing but upside.
Quick question:
What was the last REALLY GOOD product Northrop Grumman came up with?
